Secret to a Life of Abundance and Prosperity.
Posted by: | Comments
What is the Secret to a life of Abundance and Prosperity?
Is there a secret? Is there a plan?
God’s ability to meet any need. That is prosperity.
However, it is conditional.
1. Meditating and delighting on His laws, His Word day and night.
2. By being a generous giver. Principle of sowing and reaping.
My life of abundance and prosperity ( A&P) is limited only by
my capacity to receive from God His unlimited abundance.
Prosperity is my ability to use God’s ability to meet any need.
The 4 keys to increasing my capacity for abundance are:
1. My ability. What am I capable to manage well?
What are my skills and talents? How responsible am I?
a) My passions. What am I passionate about? What do I love to do?
What excites me? What things do I naturally pursue?
b) What are my skills or talents? What strengths do other
people see in me?
c) What are my values? What is really important to me?
Is there something that I would risk my life for?
d) What was I born to do?
God is the holder of it all, of everything. He created it all.
I just get to hold some of this for a while.
How much I am entrusted with and how much I get to hold is
dependant upon by capacity, my trust worthiness and my dependability.
2. My resources.
As I increase my value to others, my prosperity will increase.
Leaders are readers. Therefore as I become educated through books and CD’s,
doing something each day to increase my personal value – my ability
for a life of abundance and prosperity also increases.
3. My attitude. My attitude comes from my self-image, the person I think I am.
I am of much greater value to others when I see myself as God sees me.
My attitude determines my altitude suggested Earl Nightengale.
How I feel about myself determines the impact I have on those around me.
My attitude also determines what I will do and be.
Phil 4.13 “I can do all things……”
4. My Stewardship. My capacity to hold and be responsible for
what God provides me. Am I trust worthy and dependable?
Abundance is the result of having something of value that others want.
Prosperity is the result of increasing my value (my personal worth to others)
Stewardship involves doing. Faith + Action = Results.
Stewardship involves responsible giving.
Stewardship involves managing the increase that follows.
Abilities + Resources + Attitudes + Stewardship = my capacity.

Law of Attraction is Ask, Believe and Receive
Posted by: | Comments
The Law of Attraction is Ask, Believe, and Receive.
Why is it that the law of attraction seems to work for some
people and not for others?
What are the three keys to results and law of attraction?
1. Ask. To ask means to want or desire something
for which I am willing to sacrifice. It is asking specifically
for something. It is to be razor focused on my desire.
One reason I do not receive what I want (desire) is because
I have not determined my God-given goals with clarity.
I must know what I want.
When I am focused and know precisely what I want (desire)
then I will recognize the people and the books that will
provide the information I need to make receiving happen.
Desire means “to long, wish for, want or crave.”
Psa 37.4 “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will
give you the d e s i r e s of your heart”
2. Believe. To believe means to “ take as truth or real”.
The law of belief is “what I believe in my heart with
conviction becomes my reality”.
Why is belief so difficult?
Is it that I don’t have enough faith?
My belief (faith) is negated because it is mixed
with unbeliefs. Unbeliefs that were taught me
as a child by parents or in school. Now my mind is
confused between what I believe and what I want to believe.
Comments were made such as: “This is our ‘lot in life’”,
“don’t try this”, “don’t try that” “money does not grow
on trees”.
It is like having two ropes to pull a heavy object.
I am not successful in moving the heavy object, not
because it is too heavy, but because I have one rope
tied to opposite ends and pulling in opposite directions.
My faith (belief) is negated by my unbelief.
What I believe (expect) in my heart with conviction becomes
my self-fulfilling prophecy.
What I believe becomes my reality.
3. Receive. When I know the truth of what God desires for me,
I need to accept and take action towards my convictions
and my priorities and follow through with action.
When I ask, knowing what I want (desire),
and believe, God will give me the direction and strategy
to bring my desires to arrive.
Now that I have asked, believed and received,
I need to be thankful and thank God for His truth and
provision.
My continual attitude of thanksgiving will keep me
from being distracted by any unbelief.
I possess the faith (belief) to be productive
and to receive a life of abundance God intended for me.
The law of attraction is Ask, Believe, and Receive.

One Reason Behind Trouble in Our Marriage Might be Pride
Posted by: | Comments“God opposes the proud but gives Grace to the Humble” James 4:6
Our financial plans collapse. We suffer unexpected setbacks in our career. We have a house that won’t sell. How can we explain such difficulties in life? They may have a number of causes. But one overlooked explanation is our pride. The Bible teaches us that God opposes the proud. When pride enters our heart, He blocks our advance, frustrates our plans, and lets us spin our wheels. It all adds up to God saying, “I’m not letting you go anywhere until you humble yourselves before Me.”
